now, why couldn't schwinn have raked all their forks like those? that elegant, smooth transitioning, low, graceful curve. the super le tour fork of my '85 reminds me of surly's forks. like someone didn't quite have the knack for bending. a bit of a kink just before it kinda goes nearly just straight down to the fork end. hmph
as a note, it's only now occurred to me....riv's forks look much like those directly above
